Quiznos CEO outlines strategies, moves ahead

Quiznos' new chief executive has pledged to refocus efforts on franchisee profitability.

Stuart Mathis, who joined the Denver-based sandwich brand in late July, said in an interview with Nation’s Restaurant News that growth is important for the 2,800-unit chain. But turning around sinking sales is a top priority, and Mathis believes that will happen if Quiznos does a better job of promoting the quality of its food.
